[Geology2] Re: What's in the rock?



Thank you for that, Cliff, that is interesting to see it now.

I like Kim's answer best!  

Alternatively it could perhaps be the cast/void of an intrusion.

Thanks for that, Kim.  I've attached the photo again for those that missed it the first time.  The photo section is over-full on the website so I couldn't post any photos there.  Also, some of the responses to my question contained the usual repeated  thread stuff, but no new message.

Re: [Geology2] What's in the rock?



I'd have to look at it in person to be certain but it appears to me to be the side of the cast/void of a segment of petrified bone or wood that was embedded in that chunk of rock.

 It's from the SW boundary of a discontinuous outcrop of the Coast Range
thrust, a late Mesozoic subduction zone, located 40 miles east of the
present coastline in Northern California. That's the whence and when of
it. Does that help answer the what?
